“…Breastfeeding confers short-term and long-term benefits on both child and mother including helping to protect children against a variety of acute and chronic disorders. 9 The unique nutritional and antibody properties and advantage of colostrum are now well recognized and documented 10 .

“…Total knowledge score ranged from 0 to 38, with higher scores indicating more knowledge. Knowledge of mothers whose scores are less than 50% (i.e., <19) were considered as "unsatisfactory", 50% to <75% (i.e., [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] as "good", while mothers' knowledge scores 75% or more (i.e., 29-38) were considered as "excellent".

Background: Breastfeeding has been accepted as the most vital intervention for reducing infant mortality and ensuring optimal growth and development of children. The current study aimed to assess the knowledge and practice regarding breastfeeding among mothers attending immunization clinic. Methods: A cross sectional study was mothers having children under 1 year of age, who attended their children for vaccination and for the treatment of other minor illnesses. The purposive sampling technique was used for selecting the study subjects. Information regarding patients' demographics, knowledge and practice towards breastfeeding were collected from these mothers on a pre-designed and pretested questionnaire. Results: A total of 208 women with children between 6 months and 12 months were included in the study. Their age ranged between 18 and 37 years with the mean of 24.9±4.1. Overall mother's breastfeeding knowledge was good among 35% and excellent among 22% of them while it was unsatisfactory among 43% of the mothers. Breastfeeding in the first 6 months was practiced by 42% of the participated mothers. Only 23% practiced exclusive breast feeding. Among those who breastfed their babies, 51% initiated breastfeeding in the first hour of birth, 21% between 2-4 hours and only 20% initiated it after 24 hours. Only 73% of mother had not given any prelacteal feeding to their babies. No enough breast milk (47.9%), crying hungry (31.5%), work-related problems (13.7%) & mothers' illness (6.8%) were the commonly reported barriers against exclusive breastfeeding. Conclusion: The prevalence of EBF for up to 6 months of age was still low as per WHO recommendations. The mother's perception of "insufficient breast milk" was also the main reason for introducing other foods. Optimal breastfeeding promotion campaigns need to be carried out within the existing health care system such as the antenatal, after delivery and vaccination clinics.

Most of the mortality occurs due to suboptimal breast feeding. Purpose: To study the effect of back massage on let down reflex among mothers who had undergone cesarean section. Objectives: to assess the effect of back massage on lactation among mothers who had undergone cesarean section. Material and methods: This was a quantitative quasi experimental pilot study with non equivalence control group design. Non probability Purposive sampling technique was used for the selection of sample. 10 samples for experimental group and 10 samples for control group from two different settings. During 10 th March 2015 to 25 th May 201 collected data. Tool was developed in two parts, first was demographic data of the mothers and second part includes semi structured questionnaire and observation checklist for let down reflex. Result: In experimental group Majority of the mothers had age 29-32 years of age, 50% of the neonates were females and another half were males.70% of them were receiving supplementary food to enhance lactation, all of the babies were breast feed 4-6 times per day.
